Evidently she was Born Again, which affected her views. But according to Wiki she was arrested during last year's Occupy LA protests.

There’s never a good time or place to go on an anti-gay tirade, but onstage at a club in San Francisco owned by a gay man, in front of many gay fans, is probably near the bottom of the list. Michelle Shocked, a singer-songwriter whose sexuality was once fairly ambiguous, stunned fans Sunday night at Yoshi’s Jazz Club with a homophobic rant, according to USA Today. The 51-year-old singer reportedly said that if California’s Proposition 8, which effectively bans gay marriage, is overturned, “it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back.” As her rant went on, fans left the show en masse. Yahoo Music reports that Yoshi’s sound operator, a gay man, finally pulled the plug and asked Shocked to leave the stage, though she managed to shout “You can go on Twitter and say, ‘Michelle Shocked says God hates f–s!’” to what remained of the confused audience before departing. Several venues across the country, from Evanston, Ill. to Boulder, Colo., have canceled upcoming performances. The fact that Shocked was widely believed to be gay makes the whole thing no less, well, shocking.

Must’ve gotten into some bad ecstasy or ketamine. Blame it on the dope
Career not doing well.
Getting attention.
Good move.
Trying to sell to Westboro?
Did her career ever get any attention? I’ve never heard of her.
Evidently she was Born Again, which affected her views. But according to Wiki she was arrested during last year's Occupy LA protests.

Maybe she just had a bad taste in her mouth.
Listerine don’t always work.
As George C. said, “I had a shower and it didn’t take”.

I guess that is what today is called progress.
40 or so years ago she probably wouldn’t have gotten booked ‘for her views’.
So we have come from DUMBER to DUMBER....ahhh
Good for her.
Yeah, speaking of Westboro, they are quite conspicuous by their absence over the gay marriage issue. Did Soros and/or the DNC order them to stand down?
I remember from MST3000’s “City Limits” they kept on calling Dean Devlin’s character Michelle Shocked.
Not a good move for Michelle Shocked as she is also in OWS.
Highly suspicious.
They’ve been too busy protesting fallen soldiers.
I hate to tell everyone this while you cheer her, but she is hard core punk and is probably parodying for the shock value, which is why she is yelling westboro slogans.
